Die Sehnsucht nach der Ferne und der väterliche Unmut führen einen Müllersohn dazu, in die Welt hinauszugehen, in der er sein Glück finden will. Mit seiner Geige streift er ziellos umher und lässt sich von Zufällen und Abenteuern bestimmen.

We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff was a Prussian poet, novelist, playwright, literary critic, translator, and anthologist.
Background
Eichendorff, a descendant of an old noble family, was born in 1788 at Schloß Lubowitz near Ratibor in Upper Silesia, at that time part of the Kingdom of Prussia. His parents were the Prussian officer Adolf Freiherr von Eichendorff and his wife, Karoline née Freiin von Kloche, who came from an aristocratic Roman Catholic family.
Education
His early education was from private tutors; in 1801 he entered the Catholic Gymnasium at Breslau, and in 1805 began the study of law at the University of Halle.
The coming of Napoleon's armies closed this university in 1806, and Eichendorff returned home.
Career
When the Prussian war of liberation broke out in 1813, Eichendorff enlisted in the Lützowsche Freikorps and fought against Napoleon.
The French Revolution appears in the novella Das Schloss Dürande (1837; “Castle Dürande”) and in the epic poem Robert und Guiscard (1855). The Napoleonic Wars, which brought about the decline of the Eichendorff family and the loss of the Lubowitz castle, are the sources of nostalgia in his poetry. During these war years he wrote two of his most important prose works: a long Romantic novel, Ahnung und Gegenwart, (1819; “Premonition and Present”), which is pervaded by the hopelessness and despair of the political situation and the need for a spiritual, rather than a political, cure for moral ills; and Novellen des Marmorbilds (1819; “Novellas of a Marble Statue”), which contains supernatural elements and is described by Eichendorff as a fairy tale. After the war he held posts in the Prussian civil service in Danzig and Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia) and, after 1831, in Berlin. Eichendorff’s poetry of this period (Gedichte, 1837), particularly the poems expressing his special sensitivity to nature, gained the popularity of folk songs and inspired such composers as Schumann, Mendelssohn, and Richard Strauss. In 1826 he published his most important prose work, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts (Memoirs of a Good-for-Nothing, 1866), which, with its combination of the dreamlike and the realistic, is considered a high point of Romantic fiction. In 1844 he retired from the civil service to devote himself entirely to his writing, publishing his history of German literature and several translations of Spanish authors.
His parents, in order to save the indebted family estate, hoped that Eichendorff would marry a wealthy heiress, however he fell in love with Aloysia von Larisch, called ‚Luise’, the seventeen-year-old daughter of a prominent, yet impoverished Catholic family of nobles. The betrothal took place in 1809, the same year Eichendorff went to Berlin to take up a profession there. In 1815, the couple was married in Breslau's St. Vinzenz church and that same year Eichendorff’s son Hermann was born, followed in 1819 by their daughter Therese.
